In the past, a unique association and bond existed between teachers and students, where educators imparted knowledge in a typical manner. In the ancient Indian educational framework, teachers provided both formal and informal modes of instruction. Indigenous education was delivered in various settings such as homes, temples, pathshalas, tols, chatuspadis, and gurukuls (Explanation
Part 1, n.d.). Education plays an essential role in the development of every learner as it outfits them with the knowledge and skills required for employability. Gurukuls served as centres of knowledge acquisition where students engaged in collective learning within a serene environment
(Tripathi, 2023). Notably, women also had opportunities for education during the early Vedic era, with renowned female scholars like Maitreyi, Vishwambhara, Apala, Gargi, and Lopamudra participating in educational pursuits.

The impact of ICT can easily be seen in the different domains of humans like science, education, professional career, culture, and politics, explicitly and implicitly or negatively. There are different types of digital violence exercised against women. Some of the forms range from hacking, controlling, or manipulating information, doxing, dissemination of intimate photos or private information, use of spyware, surveillance, faking identity, cyberbullying like posting or sharing embarrassing or threatening pictures, defamation, harassment, stalking in the form of sending online unsolicited or unwanted sex-based materials, and rape threats. The chapter attempts to explore role of the digital technology and online platforms as intermediaries in rendering gender-based violence, digitalization of gender-based violence, verbal or nonverbal sexual assaults, and online sexual politics to prolong women's subjection in India.

It is argued that sologamy is a form of newfangled feminism that challenges societal norms and patriarchy. In contrast, others view it as a self-indulgent and narcissistic trend focusing on individualism in today’s culture. Through an analysis of the cultural and historical contexts of sologamy, this article delves into the ways in which the practice can be seen as both a rebellion against traditional gender roles and a reinforcement of oppressive societal structures in which it intersects with issues of gender, power, and identity.

Surrogacy is an arrangement where parents hire a gestational surrogate to carry their baby until birth; basically, it’s a reproduction method. The gestational surrogate, who holds the baby, has no genetic relationship with the child (Nebeling Petersen, 2018: 697). It is bringing a transformation in the family structure or composition. It is arranged and supported by a legal agreement. Surrogacy comes into the picture when the pregnancy is medically impossible or too dangerous for the intended mother. The aim of this paper is to present an overview of surrogacy and determines how it has been commercialised in the past few years, especially during the time of the Covid-19 pandemic and will also discuss both positive and negative impacts of commercial surrogacy.

He vitalizes each character, either marginalizes or maligns, through his stories. He gives equal respect to all his characters. All characters are very close and dear to him as his own family members, whether they are refugees, prisoners, lunatics, pimps, or prostitutes. After all, they all are deprived and helpless countrymen. His greatness lies in his words he utters that he disburses as his own hard-earned treasure of experiences like a cutpurse. He states, “I don’t consider myself a writer so much as a pickpocket. One who picks his own pocket and hands over its contents to you.”

The aim of abolishing untouchability alone without trying to abolish the inequalities inherent in the caste system is a very low aim. Let us remember ‘not failure but low aim is a crime’. Let us probe the evil to its very roots and be not satisfied with mere palliatives to assuage our pain. If the disease is not rightly diagnosed the remedy will be useless and the cure may be postponed.” (Ambedkar 232)

Silence is a moment that is so loaded with meaning that readers have a hard time coming to the conclusion of what it all means. It is not only a moment in which the characters are silent and the audience is unable to hear their speech. In Pinter’s plays, there is never a silence when something unexpected happens. It forces one to closely consider the current circumstance while it is all around. The reader is compelled to make assumptions about the characters’ thoughts when they are silent but not when they do not use words.

Postcolonial is a period of freedom and exemption from European colonial clutches and grasping. I... more Postcolonial is a period of freedom and exemption from European colonial clutches and grasping. It is quite necessary to define the word 'colonialism' before understanding 'postcolonialism.' P K Nayar in his seminal book Postcolonial Literature: An Introduction projects light upon the etymology of the word as thus "The term 'colony' once meant something very different. The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) notes that the fourteenth-century term, 'colonye,' derived from the Latin 'colon-us,' meaning farmer, cultivator, planter, or settler in a new country, was used to describe the Roman settlements in the fourteenth century" (1-2). Colonialism is a gradual process of settling down Europeans in various corners of the world and considering themselves superior to those where they settled down. They migrated to non-European countries and started forming colonies and began to establish their own rules and regulation and imposed upon the colonized. Sometimes it was quite harsh and, most of the time, inhuman. The process of migration is continued since the existence of the earth and human beings kept on moving in quest of a better life and safe places. But the eighteenth and nineteenth-century scenario is extremely awful and consternation where the colonizers moved to exploit the colonized places and contaminated the previously established social cultures and introduce their own. Let's see what OED reads, "Colonialism is an alleged policy of exploitation of backward, or weak peoples by a large power." Colonialism is a derogatory word and it is a sort of stigma on colonizers. It is the second name of cruelty, oppression, exploitation, hate, servitude, racism and inequality. Colonization is dreadful for native races, cultures and spaces. Their intention at the beginning of these settlers was just to trade and later, seeing the gullible and hospitable nature of the people, their cunningness came out and they invited several people from their country and gradually tried to control and train the native people in their own way. They came to trade with the permission of local Nawabs and rulers, but with the passage of time, these traders conquered those local nawabs and rulers and became the ruler of those areas and started subjugating the people of the area. Colonialism brought destruction for the native knowledge, culture, art and understanding. Colonizers started to command the economy, politics and society as per their crafty intention. They introduced massive changes by demoralizing Indian values, customs and practices. Native people began to see their own customs and rituals with susceptible eyes in which they used to believe firmly. In India, they replace dhoti, kurta, turban, saree with shirts, pants, coats, ties and gowns. The products of colonialism are hybrid; they oscillate between their native culture and colonial culture. The colonization process started forcefully but later on it impacted on the mentality of the native people. They began to subjugate mentally, making the natives considered inferior, uncivilized, illiterate and so on. P K Nayar, quoting the most famous Orientalist scholar Edward Said, says, "Colonialism cannot be seen merely as a political or economic 'condition': it was a powerful cultural and epistemological conquest of the native populations" (Postcolonial Literature: An Introduction 3).

This relationship on one hand provides him protection, on the other hand cerebral composure. The relationship between man and woman is the most intimate and interesting out of other relationships to discuss here thoroughly. Man and woman are two wheels of the life chariot which last longer than MRF and CEAT tyres. They are complimentary to each other. They support each other. They live for each other and try to make happy each other to bear the mild yoke of life. The existence of man without woman and vice versa is not possible. They cannot survive happily in absence of each other if they have true human heart.

It commences at the age of 12-14 and lasts up to the age of 45-50. Nowadays, there are some irregularities in the commencement of menstruation and menopause due to the imbalanced lifestyle and inclination of females towards junk and fast foods. As per definition, “Menstruation, or period, is normal vaginal bleeding that occurs as part of a woman's monthly cycle. Every month, your body prepares for pregnancy. If no pregnancy occurs, the uterus, or womb, sheds its lining. The menstrual blood is partly blood and partly tissue from inside the uterus. It passes out of the body through the vagina.” (medlineplus). During these days, that lasts up to three to five days, and women go through various pains and disturbance. Generally, menstruation brings abdominal or pelvic cramping pain, lower back pain, bloating and sore breasts, food cravings, mood swings and irritability, headache and fatigue. It is very amazing and shocking as well that people are willing to get a baby, but they do not accept menstruation positively. They even disregard the period-having woman. India is a country of the conservative mindset that keeps various restrictions upon women.

LGBTQ stands for Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender. The past researchers have derived much negative understandings with regards to the lesbian community as being unfaithful which has led to a difficult life for such people. It is assumed by many scholars in the past that similar gender interaction is a habit created because of which repulsive instinct of LGBT comes naturally. In the past researches, there have been mentions about the negative perceptions of the people towards the LGBTQ community. These researches have also focused on the cases of a high level of mental health issues prevailing in the LGBTQ community due to the hostility created by society. There has been a fear inculcated in the minds of the community which leads to a mournful life of loneliness and unearthed love which also led to criminal behavior. This study shall focus on the negative impact created on the minds of the gay people and the effect on their daily lives at different levels of their non-acceptance by people around them.

The paper aims to discuss the personal experiences of Pankaj Mishra while travelling five countries across South Asia, as we find in his book Temptations of the West: How to be Modern in India and Beyond that came into the hand of the readers in 2007. The book successfully endeavours to signal that communalism is a gigantic challenge for modern society and at times, it stigmatises our society through riots within and beyond the boundaries. In this 21 st century, the world is moving towards scientific advancements like Artificial Intelligence, innovations in modern medical sciences and moving towards Mars and the Moon with ultra modern inventions leaving human clashes and trifles behind. A tug of war is always seen in these nations between tradition and modernity. If we talk about these countries, they still adhere to their irrational and orthodoxical beliefs of communalism that invite religious conflicts and clashes. Such circumstances are quite challenging and
disappointing as well, because they not only obstruct the path of development but also drag the country a decade back through arson and
incendiarism.
The paper is an earnest effort to chalk out the challenges of communalism and internal disturbances in five eastern countries Pakistan, Afghanistan, India, Nepal, and Tibet and how these countries are lagging behind in the race of Moderni s ation because of their conflicts over religion and unsound social and communal rapport. The function of religion is also questioned? The role of religion is peace building and maintaining morality and humanity in people but modern religion is deviating from its goal and pushing these countries into a state of agitation and turbulence.

Her expedition and voyage do not move smoothly that affect her a great deal psychologically. She is neither allowed to quit nor to work placidly. Sometimes she is harassed even physically. The matter of glass ceiling is increasing day by day since the emergence of feminism or advancement and participation of women at workplaces. Sometimes she is treated in a lenient way, and sometimes the unnecessary additional burden is imposed upon her to engage extensively. Exploitation and harassment of women at workplaces are so many that these have been considered as common issues in which women are supposed to ignore or avoid as much as possible. Talent and proficiency cannot be suppressed for a long time. Sooner or later it will come out and astonish the oppressor and get worldwide acclamation.

Tara Lata Gangooly is the tree bride of the novel. She is betrothed to a tree when the groom, on the day of the wedding, dies of snakebite. Tara, in the form of an innocent bride, bears the brunt of aspersions and reproaches for the death of the groom. Her family is also damned for performing something wrong in customary rituals of worshiping in the course of the wedding. The story oscillates between past and present, and it is an attempt to explore the real identity of Tara Lata. A terror incident also leads the tale towards the investigation of the secret bombing and its causes. Exploration and expedition of history, myth and culture are the dominant themes of the novel. My paper illustrates the purpose and exercise of the historical, mythical and cultural aspects of the novel The Tree Bride.

diaspora denotes the scattering of people en masse form
one place to other. It is the movement of the people being
away from their own country. There are various sorts of

population some way or other. Out of these some famous
diasporas are—Jewish Diaspora, African Diaspora,
Greek Diaspora, Italian Diaspora and Indian Diaspora.
There are various reasons behind the mass movement

The contribution of mythopoeia towards the construct of human socio-cultural identity has been largely accepted. Modern academia has thus taken a strong interest in revisionist literature to understand the hitherto unknown nuances of human civilization. In the edited anthology, Art and Aesthetics of Modern Mythopoeia: Literatures, Myths and Revisionism (Vol-II), like the first volume, an attempt has been made to anthologize the works of a large number of authors who have talked about pertinent issues in the context of myth-making, the latent politics of mythopoeia and has taken into account several underexplored texts that are rich in mythical content. This volume offers a wide range of critical studies involving classical as well as modern myths around the globe.
This anthology offers new readings of classical myths across continents and cultures. The anthologized essays have collectively explored the various trends of Revisionist literature. Sincere attempts have also been made to highlight the ways in which re-readings of select literary works can admirably transform set notions and ideas of human existence.

Diaspora literature refers to writings that have resulted from a world beyond the home of dispersed, dislocated, and scattered migrant groups. Meena Alexander defines it as "writing in search of homeland". These groups, coming into being by dispersion of people form a population that is transnational under the impact of certain events forced or voluntary. In the 1980s and 1990s, the term Diaspora gained prominence in meaning, range, and scope placing a high premium on non-centre and hybridity which took into account more groups of refugees, exiles, expatriates, migrants, immigrants,
